help with background color for a column

[ujjwala]

Hello,

I have a problem with page layout in Fire fox. The left (grey color) column doesn't get extended as the length of the page increases. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I tried all the possible ways but I am not able to fix it. Can you please help me in this.

Below is the style I used for the grey color column ,

#leftcolpadding {
width:120px;
float:left;
overflow:auto;
/*background-image:url(leftcolumn.jpg); */
background-color:#CCCCCC;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
height:auto;
padding:0px 0px 0px 5px;
}

Below is the link for complete style sheet

You'll probably need to use a "faux columns (http://alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/)" approach.

Thank you. It works now on all pages except on one page. I should be able to fix that.
